filing bankruptcy on high school tuition we owe

You need to check the court cases in your jurisdiction.  Most courts will find this type of refusal to be a violation of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.  This of course assumes you have already filed a bankruptcy and listed the tuition fees as a debt. You need to hire a bankruptcy attorney in your area to analyze this further and see what remedies you have.
